For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 the Company had consolidated gross profit of $12.5 million (56% margin) on consolidated revenues of $22.3 million compared to gross profit of $7.3 million (84% margin) on revenues of $8.7 million for the fifty-six day period ended December 31, 2017.

Revenue, cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses all increased primarily due to the six months of operations in the period ended June 30, 2018 compared to fifty-six days of operations in the period ended December 31, 2017.

The Gross profit margin decreased from 84% to 56% because the Company realized lower daily revenue in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to the fifty-six day period ended December 31, 2017 due to lower average realized prices on bitcoin sales and increases in network difficulty that outpaced hash rate growth of the Company. The average realized sale price per Bitcoin was $13.7 thousand for the period ended December 31, 2017 and $9.4 thousand for the period ended June 30, 2018. Network hash rate grew 138% from the beginning of 2018 to June 30th while the Company's hash rate grew by 103% during the same period.

Energy and infrastructure expenses increased from $0.7 million in the fifty-six day period ended December 31, 2017 to $4.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 due to the increased number of operating days and the addition of approximately 6,500 cryptocurrency mining computers as the Company grew its mining operations.

Similarly, the Company's depreciation and amortization increased from $1.1 million to $5.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to the fifty-six day period ended December 31, 2017 primarily due to the increased number of operating days and the fact that the Company purchased $12.5 million of mining and electrical equipment during the first six months of 2018.

General and administration expenses for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $5.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Increased general and administration expenses are due to the increased number of operating days in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company's operational growth, go-public transaction costs and public company compliance costs.

Bitfarms' mining operations form, by far, the majority of the Company's total operations.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company's cryptocurrency mining operations segment had gross profit of $12.3 million (58% margin) on revenues of $21.1 million, compared to gross profit of $7.3 million (84% margin) on revenues of $8.7 million for the fifty-six day period ended December 31, 2017.

Gross mining profit was $17 million (yielding Gross mining margin of 80%) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to $8 million and 92%, respectively, for the fifty-six day period ended December 31, 2017. The Gross mining margin decreased by 12% due to the increase in network difficulty outpacing the increase in hash power achieved by the Company during the first six months of 2018.

EBITDA from mining operations was $13.9M (66% EBITDA margin) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to $8 million (92% EBITDA margin) for the fifty-six day period ended December 31, 2017.

Non-IFRS Measures

This news release makes reference to certain measures that are not recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. They are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company uses non-IFRS measures including "EBITDA," "EBITDA margin," "Gross mining profit," and "Gross mining margin" as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective.

EBITDA and EBITDA margin are common measures used to assess profitability before the impact of different financing methods, income taxes, depreciation of capital assets and amortization of intangible assets. Gross mining profit and Gross mining margin are measures used to quantify power and infrastructure costs in cryptocurrency production, the single biggest expense in mining. Management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets.

"EBITDA" is defined as net income (loss) before: (i) finance expenses; (ii) income tax expense; and (iii) depreciation and amortization. "EBITDA margin" is defined as the percentage obtained when dividing EBITDA by Revenue. "Gross mining profit" is defined as Revenue minus Energy and infrastructure expenses for the Mining Operations segment of the Company. "Gross mining margin" is defined as the percentage obtained when dividing Gross mining profit by Revenue for the Mining Operations segment of the Company. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS.
